"Every sin is not the same as every other. You can't compare murder to gluttony, just as comparing gluttony to acting out sexual perversions is'nt correct"

When I was taught the seven deadly sins, lust was co-equal with gluttony, anger, envy, sloth etc.

Just an FYI - there is no list of "7 Deadly Sins" in the Bible. It is a part of the Catholic catechism.

To what level of gluttony would you ever equate murder, rape, etc.? You can cite scripture all day long if you want to, but common sense of proportion tells me that you will more apt to go to hell for murder than for being obese
